and see you for
35 years? Because you were you you
didn't move till till
Yes, I applied this 35 years. It's such
such a
makes you feel so warm.
I came to this night and I was pleasure.
So, it's like unbelievable, you know? It
really touches me. I came to the ship
cuz I
very nice. I'll get you back sometime.
That's for sure, you know?
Um
I got to tell you something.
I want to tell you something very
interesting.
Um
This this this is this is my only finish
that that I have to tell you myself,
otherwise I'll say my word from others.
But you know, I always
I had always bothered me.
You know, the dinner that I got to show
us
is kind of Mesa.
A guy which keeps Shabbos is kind of
Mesa.
It always bothered me. What's Shabbos?
You know, he keeps other misses just
filling and then he goes to the mikvah,
he grows payess, you know? Puts on
mezuzah.
You know,
what's that piece of light by they keep
Shabbos is kind of Mesa.
I saw a push shot I think is
push shot I
push shot I think is is that uh
Imagine uh a king goes ahead
and you know, he he likes to buy his
wife gifts every so often, you know?
It's nice. Very nice thing to do.
Okay, you know, go to the store. Okay,
here I'll call here's $50,000. Go buy
yourself a nice ring, you know, uh
whatever you want. It's nice.
It has some sort of shivus that the king
bought it.
But imagine if the king goes ahead
Imagine if the king goes ahead and he uh
takes out the time with his own and he
crafts out something very very special,
very very unique
for his wife.
So, that matters to to work he put into
something, you know?
It's something which has has much more
of a flavor to it because the king by
himself took out the Torah to do it.
So, the pash of Shas I think what
Shabbos is
is that Shabbos is is is is a
is a matana from Hashem which is which
is a very unique thing that Hashem
crafted out in his own that it should be
a time which is dovak for him and his
kallah.
And if you take that private gift away
that was crafted just for her and you
take that away,
so that's worse than mezuzah or anything
else because that's that's a special
present to him. You stole my special
present? That's your chaim misah. That's
that's pashut pshat. I think that's
pashut pshat.
I I thought of a different pshat to say.
I told it to him. I'm I'm I'm a war guy
in the summer. I told it to him from
Chaim Mintz. He said it's from my Rebbi.
He said he liked it very much, so I have
a haskamah on it. Pshat is like this.
This is what I thought.
You know,
imagine a guy goes ahead
and he finally went ahead and he uh
he he he made this invention, you know,
the called the iPhone. All right? Made
the iPhone.
And it's very it's a very very delicate
it's very very delicate thing. It has a
lot of components and he put so much
time and so much koachus into this
development of the of this of this
iPhone. And what do you do when you go
ahead and you make an invention? First
you get a you know, copyright, you get a
patent on it, you get whatever you need,
you know?
And um
and you go ahead and you
see if it's a good to zach and everybody
gives it okay. And then what you do is
you go ahead and and you market it. So,
there's different ways of marketing it,
you know, you you advertise it.
But the best way to do it is to get a
hands-on to see exactly what it is,
right? You want to get a you want to get
a hands-on people to see it. Wow, this
is really something very very special,
you know, right?
So, what do you do? You go ahead and you
get a few intelligent people, people who
hold themselves to be marketers, people
with good sales, good sales people. And
you get them together and you have
meetings and you go and you teach them
how to work the thing. And then these
guys go out on their own to different
different stores, different locations,
put up different signs, and they get
people together who they know, and they
gather people together
to go ahead and to and to and to see the
product, you know, from close up.
And imagine again let imagine again like
a new toy comes out. So, they go see it
with that that's the the see of Schwartz
in then Manhattan. And he puts up signs
3 weeks to go there's a new toy car that
they just came out with it and every
schmatta trick and everything. And the
guy is supposedly trained to how to go
ahead and to and to work these machines.
And 2,000 people come to the thing.
And the salesman goes ahead and he takes
out the thing. Excuse me. Yeah, all
right. Um he goes ahead and he gets the
thing.
And what happens is is that
people look at it and they say, "Ooh,
ah." You know, "What's this button?
What's this button? What's that button?"
The guy goes and he goes, "Uh
um yeah. Yeah.
This button is uh
yeah."
And he says, "You see this makes it go
forwards." And the guy doesn't know what
he's doing and he presses it and it goes
backwards. It starts going into loops
and the people are looking, "What? This
this this thing's broken. This this
It's such a feckin invention that the
guy made up." This guy went ahead and he
put his put in so much to get the
invention and he got a salesman that's
coming in and he momzer stopped what the
whole tachlis of this invention was. And
what happens is the guy that made the
invention goes ahead and he says, "You
momzer a retzach."
Because you're you're you're gone if you
said you you know how to do it and you
went ahead and you advertised it. And
not only not only aren't people buying
it, you went ahead and you disgraced it.
Because you don't know how to go ahead
and use the thing, you dope, you know?
So,
I stopped I stopped Shabbos was this.
Shabbos is is is a such a beautiful
zach.
You have to have a I have to have a
neshama to go ahead and to appreciate a
Shabbos because Shabbos we all know was
mama is the is the highlight. It's it's
mama a
A person who goes ahead and he's a ben
Torah
a
chashuv baal bos
a treib mitzvos, you know, like like
like we all are over here. So we could
go ahead we could appreciate a Shabbos.
Imagine you go give a a Shabbos and
you say, "Okay, what Shabbos?" "Oh,
Shabbos?"
"Oh, it's very chilling." "Yeah, what do
you do?"
"You sit.
You get up, go to shul
and you study, you take time with your
kid, you spend time for avodas Hashem,
come back, you have a chiyus at the
kiddush club afterwards, and you go home
to have a nice beautiful delicious
seudah."
So okay, now yeah, and then?
I said, "And then? What do you mean and
then?"
Shabbos is that's it. Shabbos is time
with your family to get together and to
bring kedusha into your house, you know,
sit down and learn with them, spend time
with your wife, take a walk with her,
get together with your chaveirim and go
with
whatever, you know?
A person who who's
who's out there who doesn't like
appreciate anything which is like
spiritual
doesn't appreciate anything that's
spiritual, what's going to happen is
he's going to take the Shabbos and he'll
go, "Ugh."
So Hashem says, "You're taking a
Shabbos. You think you're going to be
able to go ahead and take a Shabbos.
What you're doing is debasing the whole
Shabbos because you can't put something
to something which
doesn't doesn't apply to you at all."
Guy puts a mezuzah for shmira, puts on
tefillin, says shema to maybe he
says shema with him. Who knows what he's
doing. But Shabbos is such a kodesh such
a heilige zach. Something like for a
person to go ahead and to
and to
it doesn't apply to him. So that's why
he guys have misah because he you're
messing up what Shabbos stands for.
Shabbos is bris this us and Ribono shel
Olam that he made the world. And what
are you doing? You go ahead and you
messed up with
what he had in it. That was the class to
our Shabbos, you know, to come down to
the world have a
It's my way. Okay, that that that was my
everybody likes a little of his own more
than anything else, you know what I
mean?
Um I just want to tell you some things
about the parashah.
And this thing hit me yesterday. I told
to my
yesterday. It's in
and it's in my the hair I think. It's in
my room there.
What? It's my room there.
What?
I have to say I love your belt. I love
it, too.
I have a
ribs.
You know
Of course I do. Ribs ribs.
Soon you can say I have ties. My wife's
making merch for me, you know. It'll be
on sale soon.
Ribs.
Uh I told her it's going to make a
bazillion out of of of the ribs. You
know, think it was a shiva with ribs
merch. She says
Everybody is crazy anyway, so
it's not going to make any effect either
way, you know.
Yeah, but the might come in and make it
for me. They have connections inside the
with the
with the drugs you import, you know.
They got this little merch inside there,
too, you know. In any case,
I got to tell you American
and it really hit me yesterday. It was
the hair.
You know, the simple question was
why did
want to give
Esau, right?
Want me to answer the question that
everybody asked? Yeah, everybody asked
the question. So tell me everybody has
the regular I'll tell you first to tell
us the little fish terrorists, you know
what I mean? I heard from Zekel Baraka.
He says it was very very very
you know, everybody cares about their
kids.
You know, if you have a kid that's
running into problems, you know, so the
first the most most important thing kids
are trying to keep them in going through
hard times, keep them in a good
environment. Got to keep them in a good
environment, right? Keep them in a good
environment, so
this way you know, they'll hang around
with with good people, so they won't
they won't have you either, you know?
That's it's it's That's That's basic
step number one. The good environment,
that's what they need.
Yitzchak was a bum.
Yitzchak I'm Esau was a bum. Yeah. Yeah.
I said real more.
I said I didn't I didn't drink enough
here. Fine.
You know? The wine had one very
interesting thing. Take one cup,
you're satisfied, you know? Take two,
you need more, you know? So, you get a
little You get a little You get a little
satisfied. You need a little more to get
going. All right? In any case,
um Shacharit is like this. Yitzchak
wasn't stupid. He knew exactly what Esau
was. The Marranos are not like that, you
know I mean others other other similar
not like that. But on on a simple level,
I think all of us we can't understand we
can't figure out our bayit. I had a guy
who was dealing with yesterday.
Um so, I have to be with him at night
sometimes.
So, he's He's missing two nights. So, I
said uh
Reuven, uh we were talking two nights
ago.
He says uh
Um I was with one of the guys in
in Sand Yeshiva.
And uh
And um I said, "Okay, 1:30 again. Hi, uh
Reuven, what do you have, baby?" And he
says, "I went to Mechel's, you know?"
I'm sorry. I went to Mechel's. Aha. Very
good. Just realized I had a talmid that
works there.
Right? You saw him No, no, that's just a
talmid.
In any case, I was talking with Mechel.
I had a very good Kids the next day,
I don't check I don't really check up on
my talmidim a lot because I work with a
trust system. But it was the first time
and it was really getting late and uh I
heard some noise I heard some noise in
the background on the phone when I was
speaking to the guy, you know what I
mean?
In any case, uh
So, I called up my friend who's a rebbe
in the Sand and I said, "Did you see
this guy around over there last night?"
He says, "Uh let me ask the guys, you
know?"
You know?
Nope. Wasn't around here. You know, uh
called up Mechel's. I said, "My buddy's
over there." I said, "I have a talmid
that works there." I said, "Uh did
Reuven come around here last night?" He
says, uh
"No."
You know, "Aha."
"Okay, Yakov, you know, this like Yakov,
so where were you two nights ago?"
"Oh, I told you I met up with some
friends from Which guys? You know, you
know, from Sanders, you know, What What
What time was that? Like I got 1:00,
1:15." "Aha. You know, I called the I
went to yesterday. I asked where your
friends were, but they didn't they see
you?"
"No, I didn't see if we can hear from
you." "Aha. Okay, where'd you go? You
went to which Oh, to Michaels? Aha."
"I called up Michaels yesterday."
"They said you weren't there yesterday,
you know."
"Okay, Rebs, you got me, you know what I
mean?" So, if a guy like Rebs is smart
enough to go ahead and to be aware and
see what's going on, gets gets the drift
what's going to happen, you know what I
mean? I think Yitzchak, who was living
in the house together with Sonei Sov,
knew what's going on. I I can't believe
otherwise, okay? You got to understand
I'm saying that like the way I'm saying
most I'm saying that he knew that he
that he knew.
And what was the question?
So, I told you that
So, I told you the the the the
the yeshivas they say because he he
wanted to keep him in a good
environment, right? So, he figured let's
get out of here. He's going to start a
yeshiva together.
Yakov is the Yakov's going to be the
rosh yeshiva and he's going to be the
chief financial, you know, advisor, you
know what I mean? This way he's going to
keep him in the good in a good place,
you know what I mean?
And that's really what he wanted. That's
why the brocha was have the gashmius,
he's going to support the yeshiva.
That's a very good plan, very good plan,
right? Right? Really very good plan,
right?
But Rivka held Nitsa Zay, Rivka said,
"No, no, no, no."
"You have to realize something, all
right? I got to heard this from a baron.
Especially, you know, it's hard when for
a yeshiva to go in and make a board, and
you see it happens a lot of times. If
you don't have a hand-selected board,
when you go ahead and you're running a
yeshiva, if this what happens is is that
uh
you know, it's not time to meet him with
the rosh yeshiva. What happens is all of
a sudden every balabusta I'm not going
to talk about I'm not talking about only
got to work. Even if you have a board of
Yeshivas, okay? So I don't mean to make
balabusta is that right? But even if you
have a board of Yeshivas, everybody's
got their own days.
So as soon as you put together a board,
what happens is is that everybody says,
"Okay, now you shouldn't bother them a
black hat. You shouldn't bother them
about wearing a tzitzit. You shouldn't
bother them to learn 12 hours a day. You
shouldn't bother them to at least learn
3 hours a day. But at least 33 hours a
day." Like both ways. It every goes in
every direction. You have pulling and
pulling in every direction
to go ahead and to put the members to
have what they want. Again, if they
respect Yeshivas, so that everybody's
with all the Talmidim, then the same day
everything is great.
So Rifka held like this. What's going to
happen is if you're going to go ahead
and you're going to bring Esau in,
that he's going to go ahead and and and
he's going to be the and he's going to
be running the CFO, so what's going to
happen is he's going to start pulling
deios ready to do Yeshivas, you know
what I mean? Now you see what happens in
Eretz Yisrael, happens in America over
here now. They're not giving money to to
the even American government. They're
taking away money if they don't go ahead
and have English more English inside the
thing. What is going to be what what I'm
not talking about, but I'm not talking
I got to think they should have English.
You know, I was one of my one of my one
of my Talmidim this kid went to
to Chofetz Chaim Yeshiva. I mean good so
that's otherwise we lost him on time.
And they have English like in the
afternoon for like 3 and 1/2 hours. So
the guy said, "I'm going to become bums
over there in the 3 and 1/2 hours." I
said, "What are they going to do
instead?"
Not only this is speaking about
Yeshivas. You going to make fun of
Yeshivas make this and this and this.
They have English like it's a great
thing. Keep them occupied first of all.
You get intelligent. You can learn
education. You know what I mean? What's
wrong? You know what I mean? It's not
connected to Torah. That's speaking of
your curses. You know what I mean?
Speaking but then what? What are you
doing instead? You know what I mean? So
it's it's good to keep them occupied.
Yeah, Chofetz Chaim but they said it was
in Cherry Hill.
They're great. They're great. They have
a great They have a great They have a
great you know uh
They have a great They have a great They
a great mahala, you know what I mean?
The kids come out happy, they know it's
the one and then in the lunders they're
also very t-fish, you know, they learn
very well, they are very t-fish. It's
very good. Well, every shabbos good but
the mice are sometimes
In any case, so that that's what that's
what Rebbe Nachman says.
The the Slonim Rebbe says in my Rebbe
Nachman but there are Hasidahs.
He says like this, I mean, one of the
major differences
that we have with us and a
right?
Is as follows, in the avodas Hashem,
their avodah and their avodah and our
avodah.
The avodah of a when they work to
the priests and and most and most I I I
I I I I I I I I I I I called up Siri
yesterday to see if there's such a
thing. have abstention, they don't
get married. I mean, the the priest they
don't have the nuns. They're they're
they're parished from this world, they
have nothing to do with this world.
As we all know, shakers. But the mice
are, you know what I mean? But they're
like boys instead of girls. You know,
there there there there's things that
happen over there in the churches which
we all know about, you know what I mean?
But but I the officially officially what
they preach is officially what they
preach is is that no, you're not allowed
to have enough in this world, you're not
allowed to have enough in this world,
you're not allowed to have enough in
this world.
A Yiddishe derech is punk like that.
The first paragraph of the Shulchan
Aruch says was put into this world
"L'hasaneg Hashem" to go ahead and have
enough in this
Hashem" to go ahead and have enough in
this world.
Right? With a tenai that you go ahead
and you do it for avodas Hashem.
A person having relations with his wife,
it's because that's the way God gets the
closest to devekus because he in order
to feel what a devekus to Hashem is,
right? You you you you you you you you
you you with your wife, so you know what
you know what you know what a closeness
is, you know what you know what a a real
closeness is if you have a good
relationship. And that type of
relationship you're supposed to go ahead
and have with Rebbe Nachman Shlita.
When a person goes ahead and he and he
eats and he sees the beauty of what
Hashem put into the world, the schmaltz
and challah, the schmaltz and kugel, a
great bottle of L'Chaim, you know? So,
when a person goes ahead and he and he
has these things and he and he uses for
a virus Hashem, right? That's what
Hashem wants. Hashem wants a place in
this world. This is what the Rebbe says.
And and and you see it by by Tisha B'Av,
you know, one of the biggest problems
that we don't have is the screen the
Hashem's in galus. Hashem doesn't have a
house.
This world is a Hashem's house lamata.
And then our job in this world is to go
ahead and take this house that God has
spoken with his head and he met over
here to make it a a living
accommodations.
You're not going to somebody's house and
they're going to put you
a never have a
somebody I deal with,
so he has no place to go, no place to
eat, no place to sleep. So, his brother
is he's he's sick. He's he's whacked
out. He has a kind of heavy drugs.
Went through a heavy heavy things.
Schrecklich. So, his brother he come to
deal with him. He said in the back house
he has a swimming pool. So, there's like
a little back house, you know, where you
could you change.
It's not even a bedroom.
Put him inside over there, you know, cuz
he had no brother cuz he couldn't live
in the house cuz he smells and he
couldn't he acts like no not
not me. No, no, no. I had a different
guy. I had a different guy in my house.
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm serious.
In any case, um
so so imagine the world in Hashem's eyes
is something now
that's feh.
What's for Hashem to come to this world
to translate?
You know, he's going to go straight.
He's going to walk in the streets of
Manhattan to get all the guys burning
the garbage cans and then then then and
starting with everybody walks by. That's
that's that's that's a world that
Hashem's coming down into.
Our job is to get Trump back in there,
right? And to go and clean up the
streets, get rid of the
Mexicans who are robbing everybody,
bringing all the
Who knows what they're doing? You know
what I mean?
Another Our job is to go ahead and take
this world and to go into a place which
is right for Hashem's Shechinah, right?
Let me ask you like a stupid question,
you know? Imagine you go to Yaakov Avinu
and say, "Okay, uncle, all right? Okay,
Yaakov, go build the Beis Hamikdash for
the world."
What?
You can go build the Beis Hamikdash.
Um
Okay, and the saws and saws and drills
and
Yaakov Avinu about saws and drills and
hammers and nails and chisels and and
and and and and measures things to go
measure things that should be right.
How How How does Yaakov Avinu know
anything about that?
Who knows? Esav. Esav knows how to go
ahead and to make guns and to make
weapons and to go ahead to build and to
go do things and to to use the world in
a way that that that that that he if he
uses it the right way to be very
constructive.
You said it. Right? If so, then right.
He's a builder field. He know what to
do. He know what to do everything, you
know?
And he did everything, you know, during
he did everything. But the Maaseh, a
person like that, Esav, it'll be the
greatest thing if he get the Bracha
of Gashmius. Why? Cuz this way he knows
how to go ahead and and and and and to
make a world that's worth living for for
the Ribono shel Olam and this way it'll
be a world Tacha to go ahead and to live
in.
Now,
what what the
what the other side was the Beis
Hamikdash. I didn't go to invite Tacha
cuz I would
he went to I don't know if he read
Slomos Farm. I I only read the parts
which which was Sefardic and a little
Kedusha, you know what I mean? Like this
far as like Kedusha the Gevurah. But to
get to the you know, a little too high,
that's not for me.
But I know it's it's a really little too
hard. But in any case, but he says
that's a more of a Gevurah than the
Slomos thing. In other words, the whole
the what our world is supposed to be
built for Hashem to be a very living let
him feel comfortable coming into the
world. And if you're going to go ahead
and you're going to make a world of such
and Yaakov can't build such a world.
He can't build such a world. You know,
he like to look at Yaakov two left
hands. What's What does he know? He
knows he's going to get a Gevurah and
fight the world and go like you know
what I mean? Esav
That was Pshat in him.
I think it's a more of a Gevurah. Yeah,
but then wasn't it Esav The problem was
Esav was killing. Well. He was he was
already doing the bad stuff. I I So did
did did did did did you tell me about
it? I don't know. How much how much how
much you know I don't I don't know. Good
good I don't know.
I was trying to bring out your side.
You're right. You can ask all the
questions you want. I'm going to I'm
telling you your side is very good your
side and you can ask all the questions
you want because it's
you know, again
again that that's one thing I learned
about Hasidic farm, you know? It's it's
it's a it's a it's a very good in
understanding and and and in a different
perspective with a different pair of
glasses. So you can ask your long the
questions. It's it's it's not to make
the long the questions. It's made to see
a good
a good a good Mahalak of the Hasidic.
That's why I follow the Hasidic. They do
They wish you good in everything.
There's no there's no wrong. That's what
we're trying to see. That was the
Mahalak. So again, I'm not a Hasidic.
Right? But
I later on I saw the
that
things which are like abstract.
You know, which I I try to suppress all
this stuff, right? My shoes in Breslov.
So they have a lot of Breslov smart
phone but can't make heads or tails out
of it. I really can't. I can't make
tails or tails. You need a Rabbi for it.
But there's a lot of things you have to
accept a lot of Hasidic farm. Which I'm
not ready to being Yeshiva Bachur. You
know, the cuff really is Mahalak with
with cuff and and you make a monkey out
of it. I don't know. They say so.
It's not for me. You you need a Rabbi to
go ahead and to do it. I'm not I'm still
busy with I don't have time for
Nister right now. I'll be very honest
with you. All right? That's the only
thing I want to discuss about.
Um another point thing as I say
All right. Um let me see like this. Let
me start with a story and then maybe can
understand a little better.
I heard this from Rabbi Leff.
Rabbi Leff?
No, no. Rabbi Leff.
Florida? No, no. Yeah, yeah. Rabbi Leff
from Florida.
We live in Florida Florida. Right? And
now he's
he's Adam Godly advice. He's sick. Yeah,
I know. I heard. Yeah, from Commission
on Joe. Right? He said over America my
son.
You know, let me share with you.
And then I'll tell you what what we're
trying to bring out from it.
Um
He's sitting one day in his house and he
says it's a tremendous lot of time with
me and
my little brother. I love him. You know?
I got a funny story I got to share with
you.
My brother when he went to when he went
to medical school
so he did his he did his medical school
in a
What?
He's he's he's a He was a doctor. He was
left in the city. 26, I know.
Yeah, yeah, he's a great guy.
Um in any case he lived the five days
that he did his
medical school so my my parents went
Shabbos
to visit him.
So he he had the big show in North Miami
Beach. I don't know if you guys have
been in North Miami. He had the big show
over there. Rabbi Shpiro Rabbi Shpiro.
Rabbi Shpiro took over afterwards.
Yeah, whatever it is. But he was the
rough in the show. And again he's a tell
these
he's he's special.
So
my parents you know seeing a show they
had to get they had all the cool things
it was Young Israel so they don't have
the big or anything they had the five
measures
but the kosher but
most people don't use it but it was
but the mice and when you're out of town
you can't make you can't do be from a
you have to go you have to make
everybody comfortable coming into the
show no matter what you say
whatever it is.
So because
so my parents whole look at this show of
the show coming from the show well
you know parents and my parents could
say this going to the show but they're
going to the show with cushion seats
that lean back if you want you know
they're encouraged open up it's so
beautiful you know it's lit up
it's a beautiful show the mice are
so and
so all the latest events that go on in
the community you know we're on the
board of boards in the show.
So uh
it seems that before Shabbos
somebody had come to shul and hung up a
sign, you know, like there's an event
going on Saturday night, you know.
So, I guess when they put up the paper
they covered up
the E
of the word "eruv".
So,
my mother walked into the shul and she
was looking at the thing
and the sign said
"The roof is kosher."
What was it before? The eruv. I think
that
My mother walked into the shul, you
know, my my parents are hardcore
survivors, you know. You know,
if it wouldn't be big letters, they may
not have to My mother take out her
glasses she wouldn't have seen it
anyway, you know what I mean?
You know, but it was like a very very
funny thing. Walked into the shul and it
said, "The roof is kosher." Shabbos,
what's my test?
What was I
kosher.
I didn't know what to
I was I was so busy talking I I was bent
over laughter, you know. It was a very
good laugh. In any case, Rebel
Rebel Rebel
would have made the most of it, right?
What? What would have You would have
made the most of
My background would have gone gone gone
gone crazy with this one, you know.
All right. Um, we're done in here. Maybe
next week's not kosher, we'll have a
good time, you know. All right.
All right. So, uh
So, what So, So, what happens like he's
sitting and he's learning. All of a
sudden it's fancy and car drives a
Maserati, you know. This guy coming out
of his car.
Young-looking guy, he looked like 17, 18
years old. Then I suppose track with the
gold blazer old times the
double-breasted suits, you know, with
the doubles in the track is nice. Man
was dressed to kill and everything.
And he's looking at this guy, you know.
And this guy has everything.
You know, what's he coming to me for?
What more does he want from a rebel who
is sitting in North Miami Beach with all
this thick walking down?
And he comes in
and he says, "Can I speak to rabbi?" He
says, "Yeah, sure. Take a seat. What's
going on?"
And he breaks out. He starts crying.
Crying and crying. He couldn't get a
word out of his mouth till the rabbi had
to calm down.
A little more livid.
And uh
And he
He said, "Tell me, what's the matter?
What's going on over here?"
He said, "Look at you.
You have a dressed like to kill. You
have everything. See your car. Look at
your suit. Ferragamo shoes. You have
everything you want.
What are you What are you crying about?"
He says,
he takes a credit card out of his
pocket.
He says, "I'm crying about this."
He says,
"What's the matter? Doesn't work?" I
don't know. He says, "No. Punk five
characters."
He said, "What do you mean?"
He says, "It works too good."
He said, "What do you mean?"
He says, "You know,
my parents got divorced.
And then, what happened was,
you know, I was alone with my father,
you know, for a few years, you know,
so so my parents got divorced three,
four years, whatever it was.
And then, you know, my wife My father
found a nice girl. Found a nice woman.
And
she told him, you know, she'll marry him
but on one condition, that she doesn't
want to have children around the house.
She wants to have a, you know,
she doesn't want to She doesn't want to
have anything from her husband for his
life. She doesn't have children. She
doesn't like anybody with children.
So,
so first I had to do some thinking. You
know, I love you.
So, I have to take care of you. Right?
So, he gave me credit card.
He said,
"Go ahead and buy whatever you want.
Keep whatever you want.
Take the card. Buy yourself an
apartment.
But I I can't have you around.
Nachas. I said
we'll get
right.
Right. I have everything you want but
I'm sorry.
I can't have anything to do with you.
What am I telling you with this my son?
My son does. If if you look in the
parish of of the of the town
the spawning grounds.
It's very interesting thing to note
that it says "Elokim".
When it brought Yaakov, right, says
"Elokim". Why?
So Rashi says because if you're
deserving, you'll get.
If you're not deserving, then you're not
going to get.
But Yitzchak doesn't say that.
Yitzchak doesn't say the blessing of
Esau just to
have it. Take it. Goodbye. Leave me
alone. I won't have anything to do with
you.
Take it. Goodbye. That's what this boy
is feeling.
We a lot of times the mice says we have
it by us
that
Hashem gives us so much
and
unfortunately people say a lot of people
say okay, thanks. Just give me my
Don't worry about my relationship with
God.
These things don't don't concern me. I
know you love me. Just give me the car.
Give me the car. You know?
You see you see the you see the same
thing with the mice when it comes to
Israel.
How some parents act with their
children.
Some parents tell the children
when you need something, call me up.
Second step is some people say I'll give
you allowance every week and you know
and then
you'll give me a call once a week.
And then some parents go ahead and they
give the kid credit card.
Do me a favor.
You know it's
I sent you I need we I need the
vacation. You need a vacation. Do what
you got to do. The mice you know what I
mean?
The mice and like you said about the
Nachash before. Some say for says that
that that was shut. What's the nachas'
problem?
Nothing.
A nachas has no problems. Nachas
wherever the snake wherever it goes,
Hashem gave it the biggest bracha in the
world. The biggest bracha in the world,
the snake never needs anything.
And the male unfortunately what happens
is
it never goes ahead
and comes to Hashem
or needs anything because it has
everything. And if it come next to
Hashem, Hashem is going to say, "What do
you need?"
You have it. Go away.
But you also will zocheh
that when there are things that
that we don't have
um
you know, in in in birchas hashachar
birchas hashachar rabbis say sh'lo asani
ishah.
So pasuk pasuk sh'asani he created a lot
of hashachar and whatever we're missing.
Right?
But pasuk can be a little different.
Birchas hashachar rabbis
and he gave us chesronos.
He gave things that we're missing that
we should have to come on to Hashem.
Because if we wouldn't come on to this
chesronos that we have to come on to
Hashem, it's the biggest bracha that
Hashem gives us is that we have
chesronos. Because this way you come.
And that's sh'an end of bracha shalom.
Baruch olam emes.
You'll be gebenched and you'll live olam
emes. What two worlds? What two worlds?
You're living in this world. The Torah
teaches no. The way you can get to olam
haba to the second world too is is
because because now that you have to
come on to the Ribono shel Olam and
you're going to realize it now, so
you're going to be zocheh to the to the
next world too. Because otherwise you're
not going to have to come on to Ribono
shel Olam and uh
you're never going to have that feeling
that that's what you need.
Um let me just end up with one cute
little vort and I'll call this finished.
I'll tell you one more Yes, sure.
Don't you dare finish without me, buddy.
Okay. Let's go.
Are you going to get rid of me deep
starters only? No.
